Project Ideas for an Artograph 225-090

Creating Artwork

• Many artists use Artograph 225-090 for making a rough sketch for making artwork. The artist slides a photograph into the opening for the image and projects it onto a piece of paper or canvas. The artist then traces the image onto the paper or canvas, which provides an outline for the artwork. The artist adds color to the image using pencils, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, gouache or oil paint so the original traced drawing disappears.

Enlarging Images for Crafts

• The Artograph 225-090 works well for transferring small images and patterns onto pieces of wood or cloth for crafts. Craftsmen place small images or patterns into the opening for the image and project it onto the wood. The person traces the design, and cuts it out using a band saw or jigsaw. After cutting out the image, the craftsman puts the pieces together and paints it. People who make sewn crafts project their patterns onto large pieces of cloth that are attached to a wall, which lets them take a small pattern and turn it into a large pattern. They cut it out, and sew it together, which lets a craftsman change a pattern for a 12-inch doll into any size she wants.

Making Bulletin Board Images

• Teachers use the Artograph 225-090 for enlarging images for bulletin boards. They place small images into the opening for the image and project it onto a large piece of bulletin board paper. The teacher cuts the image out of the paper and decorates it using construction paper, markers, crayons, glitter or other craft items. If the finished image is laminated, it lasts for several years.

Enlarging Images for Murals

• Many artists use the Artograph 225-090 for enlarging images for murals. They take small sketches or photographs and place them in the opening for the image. Artists reflect the image onto the wall and pull the projector away from the wall until the image is the desired size. They trace the image on the wall and paint it using acrylic or oil paints.

Showing Flat Images to Groups

• Teachers and businessmen use the Artograph 225-090 for projecting flat images on a screen. Any photograph, chart or other small image is easily projected, so a large group of people easily see the image at the same time.
